Been looking for any RL 26 powder to try in my .280 Rem., none available locally, or any source I have tried online.
Any word as to when this powder may become available again, or have I missed an online source?
thanks.

Sportsman's Warehouse always has it in stock around here in Oregon...

I work for Sportsmans Warehouse in Cheyenne Wyoming. It comes in from time to time but it is difficult to get.

RL-26 is as rare as a pro second amendment Obamanite at a NRA rally in my neck of the woods...

Powder Valley had it when I got mine.
Haven’t checked lately.

Powder Valley gets it when they can, but are currently out. I bought a big jug of it, when it was available. It has become so popular, that H4350 is now available. Powder Valley has gobs of it-or did a short while ago.

I recently got a big jug of H-4350, figuring it would last me a while. Did the same with RL-26 when it was available.
I guess you gotta keep after it, jump when those are available.

I don't check local shelves religiously, but when I do it's nearly always out-of-stock. It's joined the ranks of Varget, H4350, and IMR 4451.

Keep checking on line. Sometimes you'll find a haz mat free opportunity.

I've got on the 'wait list' of some of the local LGSes that know me. Local Sportsmans Warehouse says they get some in from time to time, just keep checking.
A CF member graciously offered to sell some- If I get desperate, I might take him up on it- I kinda hate to pay Hazmat charges over and above the actual powder cost. In the past, I have driven from my home here in S. Colorado to Colorado Springs or Denver to buy powder, sell stuff, etc. to and with CF members locally. Anyway- there's still time between now and next fall!

There are sites that keep up with ammo or powder availability. Here's one. http://gunbot.net/reloading/Powder/DF

This morning, I stopped by a LGS in the city. I almost never check with these guys, as they never have anything I need. Lo and behold, they had a pound of RL 26 on the shelf!!

I ended up buying a jug of it during one of Powder Valley's recent sales. I burn a lot. I'll buy two jugs next time. My new favorite rifle powder from 243 to 30-06.
